Guanyin Oracle 87th Sign: "Yao Jin Explores the Underground Cave"

Version One of the Oracle Poem
Man walks halfway up the mountain, the sun sets behind the hills.
The steep and dangerous cliffs are hard to climb.
Looking up at the sky, hoping for divine protection.
This body still lingers in the void.
Chan: pronounced like “蝉” (chán).
Version Two of the Oracle Poem
Man walks halfway up the mountain, the sun sets on the western hills.
The high mountains and cliff faces are unstable.
Looking up at the sky, hoping for divine protection.
This body still lingers in peace.
West is used instead of "Xian". The original text is unclear.
【Fate】 Moderate Sign 【Palace】 Shen Palace
【Oracle Words】 This omen represents a situation where one is in danger but with the help of a benefactor.
【Explanation】 Chiseling stone to reveal jade, sifting sand to find gold. Effort is required, but it will bring mental strain.
【Divine Insight】 This sign is for family prayers, personal loss, laborious wealth-seeking, cautious transactions, obstacles in marriage, false alarms about pregnancy, delayed travelers, legal disputes, stable farming and livestock, unsuccessful search, no change in residence, loss of property, illness obstruction, and no obstruction at the tomb.
【Interpretation】 When walking halfway up the mountain, the scorching sun seems to swallow the mountain. The steep terrain offers no way to climb further; looking up at the sky, one prays for divine protection, feeling as if one's body is lost in the vast emptiness. Chiseling stone to reveal jade, sifting sand to find gold—effort and mental strain are needed to achieve success. This sign symbolizes the idea of "finding light in darkness." It encourages the person not to give up easily. Sometimes, when people face difficulties, their thoughts become negative, and they feel exhausted, even despairing. Instead of being消极, it's better to change your mindset and perspective. As the saying goes, "There is no dead end in life." Don't quickly deny yourself or become overly pessimistic. Sometimes, the most important thing isn't the outcome, but the process. Although it may be difficult, it can also be a good opportunity for learning and growth.
【Origin Story】 Cheng Yajin and other heroes from the Wagang Camp celebrated a victory with a feast. Suddenly, the ground cracked open, revealing a large hole. Everyone was amazed, but no one dared to go down. Xu Maogong asked everyone to draw lots, and Cheng Yajin drew the lot. He tied a rope around his body and descended into the cave. Inside the cave, there were stone gates and bridges. Upon reaching the hall, he found valuable items such as dragon robes and jade belts on the table. Cheng Yajin put them on and climbed out of the cave safely. Later, he became the "King of Chaos" for three years. Story from "The Complete History of Tang."

For All Matters
This matter is progressing slowly, creating an uneasy feeling. This matter must be long-term, and only then can it achieve success.
Love and Marriage
Overall Love Fortune
This love is currently in a cold period, making it uncertain. This requires long-term efforts to achieve results. If already married, this sign indicates a cold relationship between both parties, though not leading to divorce, it always creates an uneasy feeling. It is recommended that love needs to be nurtured, requiring mutual understanding and care. If you fulfill your duties as a couple, you can warm up your love and make it more stable. (◆ Beautiful love depends on nurturing ◆ The secret to maintaining love.)
If asking about when love will come
If single and asking about when love will come, since there is currently no partner, the heart feels some hardship, wanting to find a support, but worried about not finding a good partner. In the future, there may be opportunities to meet someone and start a relationship, but there will still be an uneasy feeling. To make the love more passionate, more effort is needed to nurture it.
If asking about whether to pursue a beloved person
Seeing a beloved person and wanting to pursue, but the process is still cold, so one can only pray to the heavens for protection, which can bring calmness to the mind. To make the love more passionate, more effort is needed to nurture it. It is suggested that you take the initiative to get closer to the love. However, don’t rush to get too close, first maintain the friendship, and gradually develop it.
If asking whether the current relationship can progress or marry
If you have been dating for a while, the love may be a bit cold, creating an uneasy feeling. Although the relationship continues, the future is uncertain. To achieve results, more effort is needed to nurture the relationship.
If love or marriage is facing a breakup or difficulty, asking about how to reconcile or restore the relationship
If the love has already ended or is in a difficult situation, it is a love without security, and the future is uncertain. If it has ended, maybe you can seek new paths and arrange a better way for yourself. It is recommended to study more skills, which can fill your empty heart. Perhaps you do not want to give up, then you need to invest more effort in nurturing the relationship. It is suggested that you take the initiative to arrange your love life, create love interest, and make the love more interesting.
Work and Job Hunting

Asking about Work Luck
There are some small difficulties in work, causing unease. Although things eventually resolve, there is still a sense of instability.
Asking about Career Prospects

Promotion and Election
If asking about exams or competitions
If asking about various competitions, the results are cold, not enough to be listed. If you want to stand out, long-term effort is needed.
If asking about promotion or career advancement
Current promotion prospects are poor. If you want to be promoted, long-term effort is still needed.

If asking about financial returns, this investment is flat, not leading to losses, but no profit either. It is advisable to save energy and not to invest. If you want profit, long-term holding is needed.
Business and Commerce
Regarding business prospects, the business is dull, not leading to losses, but only small profits, barely making ends meet. It is recommended to build good relationships and cultivate the qualities of a good businessman, which will lay the foundation for future business.
Real Estate Transactions
If asking about buying and selling, it is difficult to conclude recently, and it will require waiting for a long time before selling.
Health and Illness
About this illness, although it does not immediately threaten life, it is always unsettling. If it is a chronic illness, it is recommended to practice cultivation as the best therapy.
Change and Transformation
The current situation is not smooth, and one wants to change. However, even after changing, it may not necessarily improve, and one would have to start over.
Seeking Pregnancy and Children
About pregnancy, if seeking to have children or asking about the safety of pregnancy, it is recommended to pray for divine protection, take care of your body, and adjust your mood. Negative moods should be discarded, which helps with a healthy pregnancy. Additionally, during pregnancy, it is recommended to perform rituals to remove karmic obstacles for the fetus.
Lawsuits and Litigation
About litigation, this exhausting lawsuit has ups and downs. Although it once had the upper hand, the final result is still a loss.
Searching for People and Things
If asking about searching for lost items, the lost item is hard to find.
Traveling Abroad
If planning to travel abroad, the current situation is already cold, and traveling abroad may cause more anxiety. Even if the trip is successful, the results will be bland.
Story of the Oracle Poem One
◇ Yao Jin Explores the Underground Cave
To celebrate the victory, Cheng Yajin held a banquet in the training field. Suddenly, a deep cave opened up, and everyone took turns drawing lots. Yao Jin drew the lot and was tied with a rope to descend into the cave.
He saw stone doors, tables, chairs, and bridges. On the table, there were dragon robes and jade belts. Yao Jin put them on and climbed out of the cave.
Yao Jin, carrying boxes of treasures, opened the wooden box and took out the jade seal, opened the chest, and took out the big flag and the crown, robe, shoes, and belt, placing them on the table. Everyone looked at them. The eight inscribed characters on the seal were “King of Chaos, Great Virtue Emperor.”
Everyone crowned him as the “Emperor,” and he became the “King of Chaos” for three years. (Actually, this was self-proclamation; Cheng Yajin was just the leader of the camp at that time.)
(This story symbolizes that good fortune is like a play, which is the meaning of “this body still lingers in the void.”)
Complete story: Cheng Yajin’s daring exploration of the underground cave.
Story of the Oracle Poem Two
◇ Cao Cao Lost His Way in the Sheep Path
Cao Cao (later known as Wei Wu Di) led his army through the Taihang Mountains. Seeing the icy and snowy terrain, the troops struggled to move forward. He asked Cao Hong, who was by his side, if there was another route. Cao Hong replied that there was only this narrow sheep path. As a result, because the bridge was broken, they tried to detour, but this detour led them to be lost all night until they finally exited the Taihang Mountains at noon the next day.
(This story symbolizes that although there is difficulty, there is no danger, which is the meaning of “this body still lingers in peace.”)
Master's Interpretation Case:
Case One:
One of my friends has been separated from her boyfriend for more than two years. Because she once got a divination that said she and her boyfriend had a strong connection, she now believes in divination. Today, she went to draw the oracle again, and she got the 87th sign. She asked about herself, but she focused on the aspect of love. She wants to know if she and her boyfriend can get back together. They still keep in touch and sometimes call each other. Seeing her so sad, I hope everyone can help!
Master's Interpretation: If you like someone, go for it bravely. Waiting won't bring good results.
Case Two:
My girlfriend and I have been together for three years. Now she is staying here with me, saying she is used to being with me. I don't know if we still have feelings. We need to separate for a while to see if we still have feelings. I want to ask if we can stay together in the future and get married?
Master's Interpretation: After being together for a long time, it's normal to experience a period of fatigue. Just persevere through this period.
Case Three:
This oracle is for marriage. Originally, my boyfriend and I planned to get married this year, but his family didn't agree. So he proposed to break up. Please interpret whether we can get back together and get married this year.
I just want to know if we can reach the end together. What should I do to find him or what else should I do?
Master's Interpretation: If you still like him, go find him. Believe in your inner answer. Even if the result is not ideal, you won't regret it.
Case Four:
My husband and I have been married for two years, but we haven't had a child yet. Medical examinations showed no problems. I went to pray to Guanyin and got the 87th oracle. I want to know what I should do to have a child?
Interpretation: You just need to take care of your body and prepare well for pregnancy, and you will soon have a child.
